The California Department of Technology, on behalf of the California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), is soliciting proposals for a cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS) solution called the Water Technical Access Portal (WaterTAP). This project aims to replace legacy systems with a configurable, enterprise-level cloud platform that consolidates and streamlines water-related data from disparate sources into a single cohesive system, enhancing data accessibility and regulatory compliance. Key functions include supporting data and document submissions, workflow routing, compliance decision support, and enabling SWRCB to respond agilely to evolving environmental legislation in California. The contract encompasses development, design, implementation, software licensing, maintenance, and optional post-implementation services over a base term of three years with potential extensions, with the work performed both remotely and on-site as needed within the continental U.S. The procurement is guided by a detailed Request for Proposal (RFP) and Statement of Work (SOW), with a comprehensive package of attachments and exhibits addressing functional requirements, deliverables, budget details, security policies, and personnel qualifications. Evaluations emphasize a best value trade-off, weighing technical merit, ease of use, workflow automation, qualifications of key staff, bidder qualifications, and cost competitiveness. Mandatory compliance includes stringent data security and privacy controls aligned with California and federal standards such as NIST, FIPS, CCPA, and IPA. The contract requires dedicated key personnel with ongoing qualification standards and ethics training, treated as essential to project success. Deliverables undergo rigorous inspection and acceptance procedures centralized under SWRCB oversight, with acceptance contingent on meeting predefined test criteria and quality standards. The solicitation mandates electronic proposal submissions separated into two phases, with strict formatting, page limits, and confidentiality requirements. While pricing information is submitted via an Excel-based cost workbook, no specific contract value or firm fixed-price terms were disclosed. Overall, this contract seeks a robust, scalable, and secure cloud-based water data management platform to improve operational efficiency, enhance reporting capabilities, and support California’s water quality compliance mandates.
